One incident reportedly involved a White delivery man yelling racial slurs at a Black faculty member.
"Until members of our Black community can work, and study, and live at the University of Utah without the threat of outsiders or insiders assaulting them with words and actions, it will remain unacceptable," the statement continued. In 2019, suicide was the second leading cause of death for African Americans between 15 and 24 years old.
A university spokesperson said initial investigations were inconclusive but authorities reviewed the incidents again. The university said it has changed its policy to bolster its response to the incidents, such as strengthening the code of conduct, increasing consequences for behaviors, and raising awareness.
"We affirm that the U community includes the Black community and other impacted communities, and we will continue to work to strengthen the protective power of inclusion, acceptance and appreciation within our collective until each of us feels welcome, whether we are professors, students, health care workers or others," administrators said.
